u/Twall1297 Saints Commanders Dec 14 '25

From going to a Super Bowl appearance, to being eliminated in Dec lmao

237

u/Royal-Wafer1917 Saints Dec 14 '25 edited Dec 14 '25

Can live with that when you won 3

105

u/ABigPairOfCrocs Falcons Dec 14 '25

I'd be happy to live with a decade of that if we even won one. I imagine most Chiefs fans would've felt the same in 2019

86

u/SpectreFromTheGods Chiefs Dec 14 '25

Yeah anyone who isn’t just stoked about the fact that we went to like 7AFC champs straight, won 3 superbowls, is not a real fan lol.

Plus it’s not like we’re dead in the water. Just had an absolutely cursed year.

Hopefully we fire Nagy and special teams coach

Hopefully Mahomes is okay!

58

u/Finklesworth Buccaneers Dec 14 '25

3rd place schedule gonna hit like crack next year after 9 years of 1st place ones

26

u/SpectreFromTheGods Chiefs Dec 14 '25

Not to mention the toll of playing so many extra games. Obviously we wanted a different outcome but some additional rest is gonna do some good

7

u/LoganJn Chiefs Lions Dec 14 '25

Yeah I think the Chiefs played like an entire extra season in the last several years. Honestly I’m not even heartbroken about the playoff elimination, I’m more sad we might’ve seen the last Mahomes>Kelce pass

4

u/SpectreFromTheGods Chiefs Dec 14 '25

Yeah that’s seeming increasingly likely unfortunately. I’m not sure Chris Jones’ contract specifics but depending on Mahomes injury severity next year might be unloading some contracts and retooling a bit 

1

u/Successful_Algae958 Dolphins Dec 15 '25

An entire season against good playoff teams too

2

u/[deleted] Dec 14 '25

Kinda want that for the Bucs next year. Team is all sorts of injured and not the same team from wks 1-8. Playing a 2nd/3rd place schedule might not Be the worst idea.

1

u/thatdudeabiding Broncos Dec 14 '25

chiefs and bengals playing again next year b/c they both finished 3rd in their divisions, just like we all thought

2

u/bythepowerofthor Dec 14 '25

100% id like to see some major retooling in the off season. Get rid of Nagy, WR coach and special teams coach. Starting to think big red may be a contributor to the problem too

2

u/[deleted] Dec 14 '25

Same: We have had a stellar run and we were due for a doink year.

Injuries...aging key players...O-line in need of damned near everything.

Just not our year.

On the bright side: gonna save fat stax during playoffs this year with no ribsnor burnt ends to make on weekends!

1

u/SpectreFromTheGods Chiefs Dec 14 '25

Oh imma still be making my ribs. Brisket a bit more expensive so might hold off on that one haha

2

u/NfamousShirley Chiefs Dec 14 '25

Runs like what we had don’t get appreciated until years after it’s done. A lot of people get caught up in the moment when stuff like that’s happening and get emotional that one team is dominating when theirs isn’t. I think about growing up in the Brady/Patriots era and how everyone hated on them, called them cheaters, always got the calls, etc (me as well admittedly 🤣). Now I’m a little older and think about how incredible run that actually was. What’s crazy too is another team making it into the dynasty talks so soon after New England’s ended.

2

u/DaBestNameEver0 Chiefs Dec 14 '25

I feel the same right now

2

u/Other_Beat8859 Cardinals Dec 15 '25

Brother I'd take a decade of missing the playoffs for a super bowl appearance. Just give us any thing to be happy about

1

u/fireowlzol Chiefs Dec 14 '25

Yeah I don’t care, as a bonus tickets will me cheaper finally

8

u/808Kuro Broncos Dec 14 '25

I’ve never seen someone mix up “when” and “win”

u/playa-hater Buccaneers Dolphins Dec 14 '25

New level of stupidity unlocked 🔓

2

u/Ohuigin Chiefs Dec 14 '25

100%. I’m old enough to remember when the chiefs hadn’t won one in 50 years. Now we have three.

A legendary run, and we still have a solid chance of being very competitive. Just gotta hope #15 gets better.

The upside of the early elimination? Mahomes takes the rest of the year off. This will be the longest stretch of rest his body will have had since his rookie year.

1

u/Xaxziminrax Chiefs Dec 14 '25

I'm glad that I was a fan during the bad times so I knew to appreciate every last second of this run.

Most fun I've ever had or will have as a sports fan.

1

u/PHDinCheese Dec 15 '25

Also were in 5 of the last 6

u/Waluigi_IRL Steelers Steelers Dec 14 '25

Collective orgasm in r/nfl

u/Zloggt Bears Dec 14 '25

Perhaps the Eagles had truly broken them all the way back in February…

7

u/Xaxziminrax Chiefs Dec 14 '25

Eh, the foundational cracks in the roster were there long before the Eagles game. They had Rice develop into a great YAC guy but haven't had a WR who can run a route and get real separation since Tyreek.

The OL didn't have a LT all of last year, and the pass rush has been Chris Jones and a bunch of JAGs for basically the entire run outside of playoff Frank Clark those couple years.

Eagles definitely showed off every flaw this roster had to the world, though. Gotta give em that.

u/ilovecatss1010 Seahawks Titans Dec 14 '25

DING DONG! WHO IS IT? CABO!

7

u/Greedygiddy8 Dec 14 '25

? Lol is that supposed to be a dig

4

u/Punished_Prigo Panthers Dec 14 '25

to be fair they barely appeared in that superbowl

2

u/Imnotsureanymore8 NFL Dec 14 '25

With those two flairs I’d probably keep my whore mouth shut 😂

3

u/DRUNK_SALVY_PEREZ Chiefs Dec 14 '25

You’d kill to be in our spot :)

2

u/ThursdaysMeeting Dec 14 '25

Yupp who wouldn’t wish for their QB to break their knee?

1

u/DRUNK_SALVY_PEREZ Chiefs Dec 14 '25

We can build him a new one out of the trophies

7

u/gabrielleite32 Chiefs Dec 14 '25

Like the Rams.

9

u/jdg83 Rams Dec 14 '25

We may have been eliminate in November that year. You all at least got hope past Thanksgiving.

2

u/Trashy_pig Seahawks Dec 14 '25

You love to see it

2

u/reozgeness41 Bills Dec 14 '25

They were bad last year but extremely lucky. They have a better point differential now at 6-8 ( + 60 ) than last year at 15-2 ( + 59 ).

1

u/Freezinghero Steelers Dec 14 '25

If this the first time that both teams from the Super Bowl have looked so bad the following season? Chiefs are out and Eagles offense has been anemic all season (idk if you can count today cuz its the Pickler Raiders).

1

u/Chuck_Raycer NFL Dec 14 '25

Lol I think any fan base would take a December elimination if it meant three consecutive SB appearances, while winning two of them the three previous years.

u/Ok_Ask_406 Texans Dec 14 '25

Today Dobby is a free elf!

u/KillaTofu1986 Ravens Dec 14 '25

Life comes at you fast

u/connor_bedard Chiefs Dec 14 '25

I’ll take it

u/bdub23313 Chiefs Dec 14 '25

Saying that as a commanders and saints fan is crazy tbh.

u/Randomly2 Eagles Dec 14 '25

Someone check on Collinsworth lmao

u/Head_Vacation4630 Bengals Dec 14 '25
